๐ŸŽจ Bringing Inclusive Art Experiences to Youth Through Collaboration!

Vecovaโ€™s Dani P. recently partnered with Mount Royal University to lead accessible art therapy workshops for children and youth with disabilities attending their summer camps.

Through creative activities like finger painting and marble art, campers had the opportunity to express themselves, build connections, and enjoy creating together. ๐Ÿ’™

Thank you to Mount Royal University for this meaningful collaboration and for helping create inclusive spaces where everyone can participate!

Our hearts are with Parker's family and everyone who loved him.

Like so many across Calgary, we held onto hope throughout the search. Yesterday's news is heartbreaking.

As an organization that works alongside people with disabilities and their families every day, this loss hits especially close to home. Parker's life mattered, and the extraordinary compassion shown by volunteers, first responders, neighbours, and community members reminds us just how deeply one child can touch an entire city.

We extend our deepest condolences to Parker's family and all those grieving this unimaginable loss. May they find comfort in knowing that so many people stood with them, never giving up hope. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒˆ July is Disability Pride Month!

This month, we celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of people with disabilities while recognizing that disability is a natural part of the human experience, not something to hide or overcome.

At Vecova, we're proud to work alongside people with disabilities to create more inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Together, let's continue challenging barriers, celebrating individuality, and building a future where everyone belongs. ๐Ÿ’™
